You're thinking of the wrong blow, darth. :rofl:

Happy B-Day, man.

The importance of going into the break with a nice little two-game win streak is more than some might think....it's going to be a good test of our maturity to see if we can put away a Cavs team who has some key injuries and a team that's playing on our home floor. Hopefully we can jump on them with some early intensity and carry it though for a full 48 minutes.....of course we haven't seen that kind of effort once yet this year.

Oh well.

Under. 499.
I think we played 48 minutes in the home opener vs. Milwaukee. :rofl:

Good luck fellas.. but I dont think you need it. We'd be lucky to beat the Twolves or Heat right now, let alone you guys. I mean its quite possible we will have a combo of Donyell Marshall, Cedric Simmons, and Dwayne Jones to try to guard Dwight. LOL

Oh and the Cavs team plane broke down last night and didnt get the players there until 4 am this morning. When it rains it pours.

I could not agree more. Plus, add to the train-wreck Washington is experiencing during their Western swing, a 8 game lead in the South East could be a great place for Stan the Man and GM Smith to use the ASW to map out the remainder of the season.

The Cavaliers short trip to Orlando has gotten even shorter. The Cavs were scheduled to depart Hopkins International Airport on Sunday evening, following their loss to the Denver Nuggets. But due to mechanical problems with the Cavaliers plane, their departure was delayed until today. The team is scheduled to travel to Orlando this morning and is scheduled to arrive in the early afternoon for tonight's 7 p.m. game against the Magic. How many players are available for tonight's game is another issue. Guard Daniel Gibson (strained right hamstring), power forward Drew Gooden (right groin strain), center Zydrunas Ilgauskas (back spasms), and guard Damon Jones (right ankle sprain) will all be evaluated before the game before their status is determined. Gooden has missed three straight games and Gibson has missed two. Ilgauskas and Jones were injured against the Nuggets. Sasha Pavlovic (left midfoot sprain) and Anderson Varejao (left ankle sprain) remain out with their injuries. - Plain Dealer staff reports

The situation is ripe for a good win for the Magic, however I'd like to see the Magic take advantage, instead of have to "wake up" & come back to win a game. The SINGLE most frustrating aspect of this year's roster.

The Magic need to be fired up, especially after losing on Friday to Los Angeles. We had those clowns on the ropes, then we let em back in and they took us out. Can't happen tonight, we need to rebound. The next 6-7 games are tough.

This has massacre written all over it. The Cavs may be pulling fans from the stands to fill out the roster. Get there early and you might be asked to guard Dwight Howard! :rofl:

Down 1-2 in Stan's 7-game series, need this win to even the series.

The best thing about this game for me is I will be there!!!

After attending at least 15 games a season for the last 3 years, this is the 1st one of this season for me!

I have alot of games to go to from here on out to match my lucky 15!!

If we win I'll make an effort (its harder now that I live in Tampa) to get to more games

if not I guess I will stay away

MagicalMan · Post #34 » by **MagicalMan** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 7:09 pm

I really hope we come to play. For some reason I can see us losing this one.
